Writing course

assigned only 1-2 papers a year, so writing 4-5 in a semester was a completely new adventure for me. I learned many things in this course that greatly helped me improve my writing. My writing overall improved in style, flow, and basic fundamental writing thought processes, which is all the areas that are hard to learn. I started to see my style and flow had grown bland and very fact based instead of grabbing the attention of the readers. Now that I understand where my writing needs improvement, I can start

new to add to our list of skills and knowledge. When I first entered university, I thought the writing courses were useless and just a waste of time since we all can write. Later, however, I realized how those courses are beneficial in improving our critical thinking and communication skills not only the style of writing. Body At the beginning of this semester, I had little knowledge about the APA writing format and how to look for relevant sources. I also found it very difficult to build an argument

After completing the writing course, I came to realize not only did I need this course, but students here at Walden should enroll in this class. There are professional writers whom do not always write correctly; and there is room for improvement (Walden Writing Center, 2015). At the onset of this course I identified a couple of writing areas I could use help in; however, as the course went on, I also found helpful tips which enabled me to further my academic writing. Consequently, each week I learned

As I began this course, reading and writing was a struggle. I never put an effort forward to improve myself in this subject, so my English was naturally impacted throughout my studies. The people I admired within school and throughout my life, never put an emphasis on reading and writing, which affected my reading and writing, coming into this class. The difficulties start from procrastination and continues on to word usage within my writing. Starting from grade school I’ve always had a struggle

Reflective Letter "In many ways writing is the act of saying I, of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying listen to me, see it my way, change your mind" (Didion, 1976). WRI 102 was specifically about proving your point of view through the medium of writing. It was packed with critical writing and research skills that were developed throughout the semester. Moreover, this course helped me develop an understanding of the audience; I grew as a critical thinker and learnt the importance of warrants

As this course comes to and end, it was very interesting to see how my writing has changed over the course of the semester. After having taking multiple English classes and writing multiple essays throughout my academic years, I have always been trained to write a certain way. Quite the opposite of being concise, instead I was trained to over explain and analyze the points I was making in my written assignments. After looking at all the written assignments I have completed for this class in particular

To future College Writing students, I’ll be honest, I was not looking forward to taking College Writing I. That’s probably why I waited until my junior year to take this course. I absolutely hate writing papers and after 4 semesters of writing lab reports for my chemistry classes like organic chemistry and general chemistry, I didn’t see why I had to take this class. I already took English classes for four years in high school. However, I’m grateful that I took this class and that I will be taking

Introduction. Technical writing is an invaluable course required in the RN to BSN degree plan. The technical writing course educates students on the awareness of technical communication and provides essential tools that can be implemented into any career. Gurak and Lannon (2016) define technical communication as a tool to aid in facilitating the exchange of information between professionals, to ultimately establish goals, create solutions and amend problems as a unit (p. 3).

needed to take this English 95 course, I knew then that this course would be challenging for me since I had stopped taking English classes since 2007. So I decided to put it off for a little while. Now, this fall quarter I was required to take this course, when I first enrolled I thought I would do a great job, and it would be easy for me. At the beginning, it seemed like I was doing really good but when we started writing the paragraphs it all went downhill. Writing in grade school was really easy

Entry 18: Course Reflection Reflect: When I started this course, I did not think that I was going to be able to complete it. Writing papers is not a strong suit for myself. But this course was about teaching someone to use what inside themselves to create works of art. Drawing from emotions and imagination and translating that into a written canvas. Most people would not have a problem with knowing one’s self. For me, it is a different situation, but I overcame this. My skills for writing has greatly
